Requirement:
1.Solar film on front(GPS smart targ friendly) and rear windscreen
2.Solar + Security film on side windscreen

Recommendation for tinting is dependent on the choice of brands available in the market. Almost all come with solar and security films. As for GPS and smart tag friendly films, some are compliant while some are not so compliant. So far I know Huper Optik is GPS and Smart tag friendly. Others not so sure. Other popular brands include V-kool, 3M, Raytech and Sahara.

As for your point no. 3, this question on "how dark can we get" to be safe, this depends on the level of expectations as everyone's expectations are not similar. Theoretically VLT50% is the permissible limit for side and rear windscreen but many people have VLT40% on these windscreens as they still don't look too dark. Some people have VLT30% films on the sides and rear and feel they are not too dark either, while others may regard VLT30% as too dark. Some people even have VLT below 30% which is certainly too dark already.

In my opinion, if you want to play safe just stick with VLT70% and above for front windscreen and VLT50% and above for side windscreens. If you want darker, you can still choose VLT60% and above for front and VLT40% and above for sides and back. Anything below these figures for VLT and the chance of you getting into trouble will be higher, not recommended actually. Having said that there will still be people who would be willing to take the risk though.

These criminal already have a target to snatch , eg: if they saw u put ur handbag or anything precious on the side passenger seat. Always place your precious stuff underneath your legs, so they have nothing to snatch nod.gif .

Yes..thats right..i know the vistim was targeted..
But the way he pull out the power window, seems so easy right?
Without breaking the glass..

IMO, security tint just delaying snatchers to break your window, after that you will still need to replace the window + tint .. In snatchers perspective, every second count, they wont simply break a window without actually confirm they can snatch something. Just try not to be their target doh.gif ,then we have no reason to spend for security tint
